Undoubtedly, the highlight so far was the semi-final loss of Novak Djokovic. However, not being limited by it, the Serb also played for Bronze against Spain’s Pablo Carre?o Busta.

The wounds from last evening’s shocking defeat were still pretty fresh for Novak; so much so, it even showed in his game. Off-balance and out of focus, Novak struggled to find his footing on-court.

As a result, he was down the first set within an hour’s worth of play. Arguably, the Spaniard wasn’t going to let go of his lead so easily. Playing with his heart on his sleeve, he fought hard in the second set, taking the game to a tie-breaker.

However, what came following in the decider set was an emotional Pablo, in disbelief at what he just pulled off.

Emotional Busta

Ahead of the clash, Pablo Carre?o Busta was far from the favorite to edge past the World No. 1. Courtesy of Djokovic’s triumphant season, the odds were against the Spaniard. However, the youngster did not let the pressure get to him and played with a display of his charisma.

A hard-fought game ended after Pablo battled past five match points to win the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Filled with unbelievable contentment, he fell to the ground and burst into tears.?

Pablo’s remarkable performance will surely have won him fans from all over the globe. With relentless attack and tactful mind-games, he made Djokovic run all around the court. Needless to say, this will go down as one of the most memorable games in the history of the Olympics.

Animated Novak Djokovic

Despite playing at his absolute best, Pablo Busta whitewashed Djokovic in straight sets. Eventful to say the least, this was the most animated the Serb had been in a while. Refraining to shy away from his feelings, the World No. 1 embraced everything head-on. Not just his dreams of an Olympic medal, but also his racquets were broken and thrown.

The chair umpire issued a warning to Novak towards this end of the game; notably, one for smashing his racquet. However, in a rather lenient move from the umpire, Djokoovic was not issued a warning for throwing his racquet into the stand. Pablo questioned the decision and protested the call as more drama continued.

Regardless, the game eventually found its natural conclusion, as Pablo Carreno Busta won the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
